Final determinations by date

Index to Determinations

The Index includes Final Determinations as well as Determinations to make minor amendments to the Schedules.

This page shows recent final determinations of the NSW Threatened Species Scientific Committee and its predecessor the NSW Scientific Committee and links to determinations made in past years. These determinations alter the official list of threatened species, ecological communities and key threatening processes that appears in the schedules of the Biodiversity Conservation Act, 2016. They are sorted by the date they are added to the schedules.

Bioregions referenced in Committee determinations

In determining the bioregions where an ecological community occurs, the NSW Threatened Species Scientific Committee uses the Biogeographic regionalisation of Australia. The Committee’s Determinations indicate which version has been referenced for a particular ecological community. As a guide, the Committee has used the following versions:

Version 4 - Determinations made before March 2013:

The Committee used Thackway R, Cresswell ID (1995) An interim biogeographic regionalisation for Australia: a framework for setting priorities in the National Reserve System Cooperative Program. (Version 4.0. ANCA: Canberra).

2016-2017 final determinations sorted by date

Determinations made before 25 August, 2017 refer to the Threatened Species Conservation Act, 1995 and the Threatened Species Conservation Regulation, 2010. This legislation and regulation has been replaced by the Biodiversity Conservation Act, 2016 and the Biodiversity Conservation Regulation, 2017.
